I'm so glad
you made time to see me
How's life tell me
how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been
good busier than ever
We small talk work
and the weather
Your guard is up
and I know why
Because the last time
you saw me
Is still burned
in the back of your mind
You gave me roses
and I left them there to die
So this is me
swallowing my pride
Standing in front of
you saying I'm sorry
for that night
And I go back to December
all the time
It turns out freedom
ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized
what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December
turn around
And make it all right
I go back to December
all the time
These days
I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing
back myself leavin
When your birthday
passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer
all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing
from the passenger side
Realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold
came the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love
and all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me
swallowing my pride
Standing in front of
you saying I'm sorry
for that night
And I go back to December
all the time
It turns out freedom
ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized
what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December
turn around
And change my own mind
I go back to December
all the time
I miss your tanned
skin your sweet smile
So good to me so right
And how you held me
in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again
I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time
and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door
I understand
But this is me
swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying
I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December
It turns out freedom
ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had
when you were mine
I'd go back to December
turn around and make it all right
I'd go back to December turn around
And change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time
